New Acquisition - Louis Comfort Tiffany Favrile Salt Cellar in Gold

My first Tiffany glass purchase. A Louis Comfort Tiffany Favrile salt cellar in beautiful gold. It's signed with the initials L.C.T. and is also numbered 8304 in a very fine hand. This is the kind of art piece that one can stare at for hours on end - being completely mesmerized by its intricate changing colors and textures.

New Acquisition - Rindskopf Grenada Decor Art Nouveau Vase (Circa 1900)

Isn't it just gorgeous? I absolutely adore Loetz, and I prefer a lot of pieces over the Tiffany Favrile glass (I still want some of that too). This particular piece has lots of reds, greens, and some blues and violets here and there. It's in perfect condition except for a small chip up at the top, but I don't care, as it knocked the price way down and I was able to get it for a steal.

Anyway, I'll update when I find out more about it. I'm especially interested in dating it.

UPDATE: I found out it's actually a Rindskopf Grenada decor vase circa 1900. Rindskopf and Loetz are both Bohemian and contemporaries of one another, so it's an honest mistake.

 I wonder how it ended up here in the United States, as that's a long way from Leeds, England. Oh, how mesmerizing history is!
